PANEL WANTS PARKLAND TO REJECT UTILITIES DEAL

The Utility Advisory Committee tonight will ask City Commissioners to reject an agreement to take over a developer's water and sewer plant.

The committee, chaired by Margate's utility director and Parkland resident Jerry David, has met twice since commissioners tentatively approved plans to take over the CypressHead plant two weeks ago.

"They must do more investigation on it," David said. "All the basics are not covered. I am worried that revenues might not come in.

"We are not recommending the approval until the commission closely inspects the agreement," David said.

Commissioners have tentatively approved a deal, in which Narco Realty Inc. would pay the city $400,000 for the city to take over its CypressHead community plant.

If approved, city officials would utilize the plant to provide water service to CypressHead and the Country's Point development, now under construction just west of State Road 7.

Coconut Creek provides services to Country's Point, but Parkland tentatively has approved an agreement with the city to take over the area within nine years.

In order to upgrade the water plant and build necessary water and sewer lines, Parkland would take over the plant. The city also would float a $1.6 million bond, to come due in 1991. Afterward, the city would seek a long-term utility bond.

Pine Tree residents and Ranches residents will not be serviced by the plant.
